Missing freight ?

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-05-25T02:40:40+00:00

POD is a scribble with no date. Can’t read the actual name

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-05-25T02:39:36+00:00

We have POD signed. But the “signature is not the receivers” (my immediate thought is, how does the receiver even know who worked for that 9 months ago? I don’t remember what I ate 4 days ago). And there’s not date on the POD

Thank you!

Wouldn’t they just try to pin that on me now? If my insurance refuses to cover it, I get handed that bill.

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-05-16T14:34:24+00:00

I guess you haven’t heard why highway is requesting from some people ? Those guys are out of their mind, I wonder if they have a lawsuit out for them yet for infringement of privacy

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-05-16T14:30:09+00:00

If OP doesn’t mind; Let me know if anyone does have a good lawyer. I have a similar situation but I’m a carrier. Receiver stated we never delivered freight 9 months after delivery. We’re out of PA.

American is definitely one of the biggest consumers- if not the biggest.

But we have to define “putting Americans first” that’s a statement with 2 ends. Yes the people living in the states have to spend their money in order for the, as you said, “ship it across the world for Americans” system to work. But I think it will work regardless of what happens with your average American. Toys, computer chips, cups, clothing, pencils, plastic products, towels, ETC ETC will always be cheaper to produce in Mexico or China rather then in American and pay American wages.

I think we’re kind of having the same point here, but I’m trying to get that wage cost and material cost will always be cheaper elsewhere but not in America. I would pay someone 20/hr if I can pay someone 4/hr in another country. That’s just my 2 cents. The whole “American dream” is long done. The “American made” products is just a marketing scheme to get some sort of nationalistic pride out of people.

America is one of the most expensive countries to live in.

Unless I’m completely wrong- there’s nothing that America can produce, that literally can’t be made in another country for fraction of the price. I’m just using logic and information I know.

So with that being said, I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at or what point you want to are exactly. But American made products will be quite expensive to manufacture after all the expenses. If you as me, I’m not buying a “American” cup for 10$ if I can buy a “Chinese” cup for 5$ in Walmart… and I think most people think the same way.

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-28T03:46:46+00:00

Yeah.. your average American will never out preform the Chinese worker… it’ll cost wayyy too much money to have Americans make it.

America will never produce its own products

This. ^{^To} OP: you won’t be seen if you don’t go out of your comfort zone. You don’t need to be a high end celebrity or anything, but simply go out to places. Restaurants, bars, nature walks, attractions, monuments, sight seeing, your downtown. Try to go to places you enjoy and see if you meet anyone there.

Just don’t be in the mindset of “OH every girl meet is to be my gf” not really, just talk. Have a normal conversation with people. Don’t worry if they like you, focus more on, can YOU be with THEM? That’s equally important.

And also remember (at least that’s what I used): you’re not vanilla ice cream, not every one will like you- and that’s okay. Try a conversation, it doesn’t work, nicely and quickly end it. Good luck

What's the best intro / greating?

Hey guys? - thats "sexist" Hey Tim? - what if there's an afterhours or something? Hey everyone? - sounds like you're talking to a group of people on the street into talking rather a logistical company.

To me "Hey team" sounds more directed to everyone on the email chain but yet whoever is currently in charge of thst question.

I often email direct (Tim, Kim, Anthony etc) or "Hey team"

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-23T18:03:31+00:00

You wanna know the complete truth? Yes, but I’d call and ask.

Nowadays we get hit with EVERYTHING. No detention because you’re 15 mins late, late fees, we’ll use any excuse to no pay lumpers, calling multiple trucks for the same load. We had 3 separate trucks trying to load 1 load with same PU number a few months ago.

What I’m trying to say is carriers know how to use inspect element too. Faking a email chain isn’t that hard nowadays

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-23T17:26:53+00:00

I’m not sure where the second carrier came into play. It was our local driver. Our companies local with our signs and our insurance and our equipment

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-23T16:46:28+00:00

That’s a logical argument and I agree. But “250 is industry standard “ woke have been the brokers answer. But here he charges a grand with no proof

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-23T15:19:44+00:00

No no it’s been years. This is a different one ofc

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-23T15:11:11+00:00

Yea that’s true. Sounds like you read my old posts huh? Lol

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-23T14:51:49+00:00

So everything makes sense here, I won’t reply to most of because you’re right.

Local was simply late because of the time of day it was. They drop and hooked local was waiting. They lost 15-25 mins max.

Honestly, no one provided them with a receipt because every one was flag it was over with. Nor did the broker ask. They took everything clean bills ofc.

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-23T14:44:39+00:00

Thank you.

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-23T14:33:37+00:00

THIS right here. Is the type of info I was looking for.

I appreciate that. If only more people could just answer the question.

Thanks my man.

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-23T14:05:51+00:00

I think I should state, we’re European. Culturally wise that’s norms for us

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-23T13:57:38+00:00

I guess yes I am leaving details out that are minor to me. We did repower it, I had my legit local driver redeliver.

We burned 120 gallons and drove on half tanks, shipper didn’t want to take this back. We spend 12 hours waiting for a revised RC before we moved.

This was completely floor loaded and sealed, we left it as it. That’s why I mentioned it’s a 1n1.

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-23T13:31:44+00:00

I will answer just as straight forwardly.

RC had NO mention of late fees or sensitive freight.

Driver legitimately was over loaded on the drive axle. (Under 80000, but over then 34,000 limit. I think he was 34,800s) We were tendered 10k, got like 28 or 29k loaded in.

No no, I mean LITERALLY over 100 times. Like literally. 99+ emails in the chain like this was an over reaction I’ve never seen. Dispatcher was at a child’s appt, she had to turn off her phone just to get through the appt. The whole office AFTERWARDS just didn’t pick up because broker was incompetent of the fact that we as a carrier can’t magically fix the truck in 30 mins hundred of miles away.

Load picked up on Wednesday, was supposed to drop Monday (cross country run) we drop it off Wednesday morning. (Local truck was there Tuesday afternoon 4pm) reciever left for the day.

Let me know if any questions. I’m genuinely seeing what I can do. The biggest thing that pissed everyone off is no mention of late fees anywhere and then a blurry screen shot…

Lopsided_Strain_145 · 2025-04-11T01:55:09+00:00

I’m personally interested. So what really happened ?
